ABOUT LINDSAY RAYNARD

I have always been drawn to the place where food and words intersect. As a child, I wanted to be a novelist. Or a chocolate maker. Or a newspaper editor. Or run an afternoon tea salon. As a teenager, I got a job at my local branch of Canada’s largest chocolate company. Five years later, I was working in their head office, proofreading their holiday brochures and rewriting the product descriptions for their website. As an adult, I made my way into an editorial role at a Big 5 publisher, working for an imprint that produced beautiful, award-winning food and lifestyle books. Based in North Vancouver, BC, I’m a writer and editor who specializes in the good things in life: food, travel, culture, and literature. Over the past decade I’ve worked with publishers, retail brands, marketing agencies, non-profits, and individuals to craft content and share their stories. Are you looking for a food writer, cookbook editor, proofreader, or freelance writer for an upcoming project? My clients and employers love that I’m reliable, detail oriented, efficient, and committed to producing high-quality work. Specialties- Food writing and editing: Recipes, menus, cookbooks, articles, blog content - Creative projects: Novels, essays, short stories, poetry, book proposals, manuscript assessments - Proofreading: Posters, event programs, packaging, magazines, books
